Abstract: Provided herein is a loudspeaker system utilizing one or more ducted slot ports. In various embodiments, a ducted slot port may incorporate an acoustic low pass filter, such as a bend in the airflow path, to control midrange leakage. A ducted slot port may also minimize standing waves within the port duct and control turbulent port noise, such as by varying its cross-sectional area substantially continuously and symmetrically along the port duct's entrance-exit axis.
Abstract: Provided herein is a voice-coil motor that includes a magnetic field having at least two displaced regions of higher intensity separated by a region of lesser intensity and a counter-coil disposed within the region of lesser intensity.
